Next, the operation will be described with reference to the waveform diagram of FIG. The signals received by the antennas 1a and 1b are
The video signals are detected by a and 2b. When this video signal is differentially amplified by the differential amplifier 3, a pulse having the same width as the arrival time difference is output as the output of the differential amplifier 3. What
Note that this differential amplifier 3 is used to output signals from the detectors 2a and 2b.
Since only the difference in the rise time needs to be detected, FIG.
If the output becomes negative as shown in
"0" (low level) is output. This pulse is A / D-converted by the A / D converter 4 and the pulse width is measured while the time is interpolated by the pulse width calculator 5, whereby the arrival time difference can be measured. That is, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, in order for the pulse width calculator 5 to calculate the pulse width based on the output of the A / D converter 4, first, as shown in FIG. / D
The output of the converter 4 may be time-interpolated for each A / D sample point, and the pulse width may be calculated using the interpolated value as shown in FIG. This time interpolation is explained in more detail
In more detail, as shown in FIG.
The last point whose point is 0 (low level)
And the A / D sample point is 1 (high level)
Connects to the first point that goes up and its value is 0
It is an intermediate value between (low level) and 1 (high level)
Find the first time and A / D sample point is 1
(High level) last point and A / D
The first time the sample point falls to 0 (low level)
And the value is 0 (low level)
) And 1 (high level), a second time that is an intermediate value
Is what you want. Then, as shown in FIG.
Finding the time width between the first time and the second time
As a result, the rise time of the output signals of the detectors 2a and 2b is
The pulse width of the pulse according to the difference
Set the fall time below the resolution of the A / D sample point.
Since it can be reflected and measured with accuracy, time interpolation is performed.
It is possible to measure the time difference with higher accuracy than in the case where there is no time difference.

In the above embodiment, the case where the arrival time difference is shorter than the arrival pulse width (see FIG. 1 (b)) has been described as an example. However, FIG. 2 (a) shows the second embodiment of the present invention. As described above, the pulse width detectors 6a and 6b measure the arrival pulse width, and when the arrival time difference is shorter than the arrival pulse width, the arrival time difference is measured by the same method as described above, and when the arrival time difference is longer than the arrival pulse width.
